Power PMAC IDE in Windows 8

[sjlee5]

Hi,

 

I'm in trouble with open/make new Power PMAC project in Windows 8 OS.

 

The communications and others are fine.

 

But when I open or make project, IDE hangs up.

 

The Output message is stopped at

 

"Please wait while setting up the compile options".

 

How can I fix it up?

 

Please answer ASAP.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Could you please open the Windows Task Manager and look into the processes when your IDE hangs up during the build and download. If you see a make.exe running, end that process and see if the IDE continues the compilation process. You might need to do multiple end processes for multiple make.exe processes. This is not the solution to your problem; I am just trying to figure out if unresponsive make.exe is cause of your problem.

Hi, dro.

 

Thanks for your fast reply.

 

I tested again.

 

And there's no process which is named "make.exe",

but there appeared new process which is named "cmd.exe".

 

I killed 5 times this process, then it resumed building project and download.

 

 

And up to now there's no malfunction in PPMAC.

 

Um... it worked but hard to use like that.

 

I need your solution.

 

This is the same in other PCs using Windows 8 OS.

 

waiting for your reply...

 

thanks.

Please check to see if your language is set to English in the Tools->Options->Environment->International Settings. If it is not, please change it to English and try it again. I belive you have a Japanese version of the Windows 8, I will try to find one and install IDE to see if I can duplicate your problem.

Hi, dro

 

I'm Korean. ^^

So this is a Korean version of the Windows 8.

 

And I check the international settings in option.

That is already set to English.

 

Do you have any ideas to check more things?

 

thanks.

Hi,

I would have to test the IDE with a Korean version of Windows 8 to see if I can duplicate your problem. I will let you know in a day or two.

Is there a solution yet to the windows 8 issue - I have a standard US version and it also hangs at compile options - Language settings is English

Bump....

Double bump. Have same issue on English version of Windows 8. Something to do with the conhost.exe process blocking things from running.

I had the same problem a few weeks ago on latest IDE but on older version of windows. In my case make.exe was hanging up. Since I was not actually using any C language, I ended up disabling the compiling of the basic C file templates that the IDE includes in a new project. This cleared the problem up, for now, until I need to use C in the future. This seems to indicate that there is a problem with the compiling of C files, even if they contain no real code, just snippets and includes. The DT guys acknowledged this and said they are working on this.
